I am so happy that this hotel property has been updated. It is extremely convenient for Vanderbilt families (except for freshmen living in the Commons). Great location with some rooms (and pool/fitness center) facing the football stadium and others looking out at Centennial Park and the Parthenon. Lovely. The lobby, bar and restaurant renovations are noteworthy. Much more chic and appealing. The business center has also added computers and space for checking mail and printing boarding passes. Rooms are quiet, comfortable and very clean. Why there is no wifi, I don't know; but at least the ethernet connection is now set up! Easy to grab a snack in the hotel, or at nearby restaurants and coffee shops. The staff has always been pleasant (particularly the valets), but I found them even more accommodating the last two times I have stayed here. Very nice setting and people!

Room Tip: Ask for a high room to be away from the street, but the views on either side are really very good.

Stayed here for several days. Loved the location right across from Centennial Park. One side of the hotel overlooks Vanderbilt's football stadium. Downtown is easy to get to from the hotel, and the hotel has a shuttle service that was great. They will take you anywhere within a 2 mile radius from the hotel. Even though we had a rental car, we used the shuttle several times to avoid parking downtown. If you bring a car, plan on paying $25 for self parking or $27 for valet. Seriously, pay the 2 extra dollars so you don't have to walk from the parking garage behind the hotel. The valet service was very prompt and had our car waiting when we called ahead from our room. Several restaurants within walking distance including PF Changs, and Rotiers.

This is a fantastic location. The staff are super friendly and even remembered us from a previous trip the month before! I thought that was pretty awesome when you think about the number of people that they encounter on a daily basis. The room was great, no complaints.

We haven't yet to be thrilled with the restaurant. The service is slow....maybe they were understaffed? If you enjoy breakfast in hotels then you will like it, I personally have not enjoyed it. I am not a hotel food kind of lady.

We have stayed at this location and the Renaissance location in Nashville, this is by far our favorite.

Room Tip: Walking distance to several restaurants. You will need to plan on driving or taking a cab if you in...

I stayed at the Marriott Vanderbilt during a weekend trip to Nashville. The hotel was very easy to find for someone that had never been to Nashville and in a great location. I walked to Centennial Park, which was literally across the street, and I even walked all the way to Music Row which was about a mile down West End Ave. The hotel also shares a parking lot with a shopping center which has a Barnes & Noble, Starbucks, PF Chang's, and Flemings to name a few. The front desk staff was absolutely wonderful! When I checked in, they recognized I was a Marriott Rewards member and gave me a quick tour of the property since I had never been there before. The staff at the bar was great as well! I was a female traveling by myself, but the bartenders were always making sure I had everything I needed and very friendly. I felt very safe in the hotel and in the area around the hotel. I also took advantage of the shuttle to go downtown to the bars off Broadway one night. It was very convenient to use and when I called to be picked up, the shuttle was there in about 5 minutes. As for the hotel room, the view was amazing! I had a full view of the stadium and some of the Vanderbilt campus. The bed was very comfortable and there was a mini fridge, which was great. If I had to find anything to complain about, as a female I would like more counter space in the bathroom - but that would be my only complaint from the entire trip. I loved the Marriott Vanderbilt, its location and its staff - I can't wait to stay here the next time I am in Nashville. Many thanks to the staff for a great and memorable experience!

Spent one night while in town for Pink concert at Bridgestone Arena. Hotel was conveniently located a couple of miles to Bridgestone arena. The hotel offered free shuttle service to concert however they were extremely backed up and we ended up taking a cab 5 people for $10. The rooms were clean and the beds were very comfortable. The bathroom was spacious and the shower was hot with good water pressure. We had a great view of the Vanderbilt Football Stadium from our room. The lobby was beautifully decorated with a nice bar and coffee area. Valet parking $26 and self parking $24. PF Changs in same parking lot as hotel and Wendy's is across the street. The hotel is overpriced. Not sure why hotels in downtown Nashville are so extremely expensive. If the hotels had been more reasonably priced we would have stayed in Nashville longer and enjoyed the music city as it was we only stayed 1 night. That was disappointing!

We live just outside of Nashville so we stay at this Marriott on an occasional late night in town. Typical Marriott - nothing really unique about it over any others. We stayed on the concierge level but that didn't get us anything because the club was closed for the weekend. Our room had an odor of cleaner or perfume that never went away. We got used to it but it made us feel like the room was unclean. The bar/restaurant was average. Location is really good. West End Ave. is a very nice area of Nashville. Several restaurants within walking distance to hotel. PF Changs, J. Alexanders, Flemings, etc. Overall a good experience each time we stay there.

Vising the college, so this was super convenient. We were overlooking the football field, which my son thought was just awesome! Nice rooms, comfortable beds with great linens. It was a fast trip for us so we didn't have the opportunity to use the work out facilities, or the pool. But sure to return and check it out next time.

Room Tip: Back rooms have view of football field, and I'm guessing front rooms have view of park; so you c...
